This place seem to have really good from scratch cooking methods and was able to accommodate our crazy allergies. Even at lunch, there was a lot of mood lighting and it was pretty dark. They had a lot of antiques and interesting furniture and decorations. As a family with young kids, I do wish they didn't see us next to the naked bodies in the artwork. It was very distracting for one of my kiddos during lunch. We were helped pretty quickly, but it did take a long time to get our food. Our food was outstanding. Everything was from scratch and it tasted really good. The baby really enjoyed it. This sweet potato fries are amazing. I was confused why the restaurant was so empty but perhaps it's because it takes so long to get your food? Or possibly Peoria I just can't support a nice restaurant like that. I was disappointed that I couldn't eat off the dinner menu. I was really looking forward to a few of the things on that menu. Perhaps next time we can get takeout so the kids won't get so antsy and try some of the dinner menu. Thank you hearth for a lovely lunch that was safe for our family!

We had been waiting to try Hearth for a while, but the experience didn't live up to the…read moreanticipation. When we first walked in, we were told the tables were all occupied. We called ahead for a table for two, and the host made it sound like it was going to be the busiest night of the year -- only a high-top near the bar was "available." When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty, which made the seating choice puzzling. Food & Drinks: * Iceberg Salad: 2.7/5 -- fresh but nothing special. * New York Strip: 1.2/5 -- Ordered medium-well, arrived rare. By the time it was recooked and returned, I had already finished the rest of my meal. The steak itself was fatty, chewy, and lacking in flavor. * Old Fashioned: 2.5/5 -- unbalanced and underwhelming. * Grits & Mushrooms: 2.1/5 -- bland and disappointing. Overall, the food lacked flavor and consistency, and the service didn't help elevate the experience. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone I truly cared about.

I lived in Chicago for eight years, and this is easily one of the top five steaks I've had, consistently.

A Peoria Heights Institution -- My Favorite Table in the World…read more I've been coming to Jim's Bistro on Prospect Road for years, and I honestly cannot imagine the Peoria dining scene without it. The Comfort family has been doing this for over 50 years, and every single visit reminds me why longevity like that is earned, not given. Let me start with the food, because it deserves its own paragraph. The dry-aged steaks, cut in-house, are simply the best in the area -- and I say that as someone who has tried them all. Whether it's a perfectly prepared filet, a juicy lamb chop, or one of their famous 10 oz. steak burgers (the Bleu Burger is my personal obsession), every dish comes out exactly right. The seafood ravioli appetizer is a must-order, the beer cheese soup is legendary, and the Caesar salad never misses. If you come on a Sunday, do not leave without trying the fried chicken -- it is the best Sunday dinner in the Peoria area, full stop. The service here is consistently warm and attentive. The staff clearly takes pride in what they do, and it shows in the timing, the recommendations, and the little touches that make a dinner feel like an event. I've brought family, friends, dates, and colleagues here, and every single group has walked out raving. And the atmosphere! You can choose between the elegant indoor dining room or the lovely outdoor patio -- both are wonderful. On a warm evening, there's nothing better than sitting outside on Prospect Road with a glass from their extensive wine list, taking your time with a perfectly cooked steak. Jim's Bistro isn't just a restaurant to me -- it's a tradition. It's where I go to celebrate, to unwind, and to remember that truly great food never goes out of style. If you haven't been, you are missing out on something special. If you have been, you already know exactly what I'm talking about. See you at the next table.

We ended up staying there talking for a couple of hours to catch up, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. While there are lots of great options on the menu, both of us chose the BPT - Breaded Pork Tenderloin. I've eaten a lot of breaded pork tenderloins in my time, but none like this one. The usual approach is super thin and huge, making the bun look tiny. While this one wasn't much larger than the bun, it was at least an inch thick, so it was more like eating a fried pork chop sandwich, but with the meat tenderized. The meat was well-seasoned and very flavorful, and the crust was extra-crispy and crunchy. The Honey-Lime sauce (one of three sauces brought to each table along with Ranch and Tyler's Sauce) is delicious and worked great with the pork. Fries were good, as was the cole slaw (which had a nice kick from some very freshly-ground black pepper). And I'm always happy when a place has Guinness on tap.

And we highly recommend a visit, especially if you are familiar with the brand! Like the BloNo location there are at least two entrances - the one further west is for a good sized hosting/ordering/waiting area while the one closest to the ballpark has more direct access to the bar area, but is way more space-restricted and will likely be a traffic jam on game days. If you're looking for a table, both entrances open to the rest of the cool 'industrial chic' dining areas in the form of a large street-level open concept dining area and a good sized split-level (up 3-4 steps) back room - which despite having wide entrances that make it feel part of the larger space, likely can easily be cordoned-off for private functions. One visit in and the lady and I (plus our friend and former Ptown bartender) can say that the food was every bit the same top-quality, large portion, methodically cooked and creatively accented sandwiches and wraps, served in old school pie pans with red-white check paper liners, that we are used to. The weekend special shaved ribeye Cali burrito was particularly epic, cementing what seems to be the first of the 3 or 4 things that keep the crowds coming back. The second thing is the creativity and discernment applied to bar side - in the form of the beer menu, which is initially focused on bottles/cans since they just received the liquor license the day before our arrival. Despite this there was a good mix of 'domestics' and at least 20 quality craft options from 6 or 8 fantastic breweries representing a good variety of styles but leaning like those at the original location - that is, a few more IPAs and 'sweet sours'. They also maintain a thoughtful and inventive cocktail list and will NO DOUBT start building up the whiskey/bourbon collection in the coming weeks. Although having high quality and fairly compensated employees helps immensely, the last thing that really drives their business is something we often say three times - location... In this case, it's literally less than a block from home plate. Easy to find. Easy to love. We'll certainly be back!
